   This was Windows 2000 Pro with no service packs or other updates.

   I just tested NT4 Workstation.   
   With no service pack, with SP2 and SP3, it does parse autoexec.bat.   
      
   It seems I have not kept any other service packs.   
      
   Could there be a difference between Server and Workstation editions?   
      
   The registry value that controls this, is a string value at   
      
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows   
   NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ParseAutoexec   
      
   Set it to "1" to enable.
